Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to ask about using XFree86 + FreeBSD on a Gateway 9000 XL laptop. We are interested in getting similar machines for our Unix (AIX and FreeBSD) system administrators to use when they travel. We want to use a FreeBSD and XFreeX86 on these machines. Please will you tell me what X-server we should use with the 9000-XL ? The machines seem good value but we don't know what a "128 bit 4MB Neomagic video accelarator" is or what X Server will work with it. The PAO patches and info is very helpful (and a wonderful product) but they don't talk too much about X. Thank you very much. Yours sincerely Stanley Hopcroft AIPO (the Australian Industrial Property Organisation is better known as the Patents Office)
